Very Fine Women's Gabriella Bachata Swing Salsa Latin Ballroom Dance Shoe

I have very wide feet - dance bunions like you wouldn't believe. In length I'm probably a size 8- 8.5, but need to order wide and often get a 9 depending on the width of the shoe. I ordered an 8.5 regular based on reviews saying they're wide, but was honestly expecting to have to size up again - I was so happy and shocked to find that these have a truly wide forefoot and they fit perfectly and comfortably out of the box, no breaking-in period!! The folds of the satin seem to expand with my foot. The heel is low and wide compared to the T-strap Bloch shoe I'm used to wearing for Jazz. They feel really stable, I can dance full out, have zero foot pain from the shoe being too narrow, and are way more beautiful and flattering than a character shoe! I'm a fair blonde and the brown satin is light, it's close enough to my skin color that it doesn't visually cut off the leg line. *My only negative comment is that the T-strap doesn't pull the shoe in to hug the underside of my arch and when I point there's a visible gap between my foot and the shoe.

I am a latin dancer--I dance bachata and salsa on a team. I have gone through several heels. First, I like the durable bag that the heels come in (I think the color could be more elegant but it's a nice bag). I have not had any pain in these heels so far. The size is perfect on me (I always order half a size smaller than my gym shoes so that it will be just right). I think the toe area is more narrow than other heels I have had so keep that in mind. It was not a problem for me but might be for someone with wider feet. I performed in these and have attended dance practices in these a couple of times and they are great so far.

Just got my shoes. They seem comfortable, but I am struggling trying to figure out how to hook them/ Also they did not come in the original box! I would like to make sure they are what they are what I ordered and paid for….very hard to strap!

Cute and comfortable fit!!

My first pair of practice Latin shoes did not disappoint! I was concerned about the fit around the toe because of the small aperture, but they really didn’t even require a break-in period. After my first lesson, I had some very mild discomfort around the big toe, but subsequent lessons have been entirely free of that sensation. The suede bottom is the right combination of slick and sticky, making turns a breeze but not to the point where you feel like you’ve stepped on a banana peel! I do notice that the ankle strap is stretching just a bit and I needed to drop down a hole after several lessons, but that’s my only watch on these. Don’t settle for a cheapie pair, these are wonderful!

I was hesitant to purchase an unknown discount brand, but these shoes are just as good as premium brands. Very pleased.

I didn’t like it because is very tight on the toes.

It's so comfortable and pretty.

Muy bonitas y de calidad pero hay que pedir un número menos porque se anchan mucho , yo creo que con medio número menos estaba bien y no , definitivo en zapato de satin debe ser medio número menos :(

Good quality and comfortable.

Shoes were great! Went dancing same day as shoes weee delivered and they were perfect! No sore feet.

I would give 5 starts but mine came with some unraveling stitches right out of the box. I’m hoping they stay together because they’re perfect for Latin dance. For a proper snug fit for dancing, I’d recommend going a full size down or just half a size for casual wear. I’m 8.5 and the 7.5 fit perfectly with room to stretch.

The shoes are very pretty however, the quality is really bad for $116.
